Saturday, June 11, 2016 – Frog, Baisch & Skinner, Prepare our lesson

This morning we were cleaning the sidewalks early even though it was our P-day. Also, it has been soooo hot that all of the planters that line the visitor’s center sidewalks need to be watered. They need water on Saturday so they will keep till Monday when Sis. Johnson will water them again. 

Next we were off to Quincy Illinois to do our shopping. Our first stop was at the floral wholesale house named Baisch & Skinner. Again it was like Christmas in June for Sis. Johnson. She needed flowers to make an arrangement for the Relief Society lesson she is teaching tomorrow. She also needed some supplies like floral foam, container and bowl tape. Sis. Johnson was in her element designing flowers when we got home this afternoon.

 

The rest of the afternoon and evening we both worked on our lessons. Sis. Johnson’s in Relief Society and I was asked to teach the same lesson in the priesthood. Now this is no ordinary ward R.S. and Priesthood meeting. The classes are made up of all the senior missionaries, about 80 in each class. It can be a little intimidating to teach a huge room full of High Priests where most of them are former Bishops, Stake Presidents, even Mission Presidents.
